Trip to Rexburg

Another trip was made up. This time we went all the way up to Rexburg, ID and stayed at Garrett and Melanie's house. Then we all headed down to Provo for new baby Lana's blessing. We ate and played at the park afterwards. We had the whole Sorensen clan (except for Erin). It was a HOT and humid day. The kids found the water faucet and ended up getting themselves soaking wet....and who could blame them - we all wanted to. We headed home straight from the park, and ended up convincing Garrett and Melanie to let us take Genevieva with us for the next two weeks. Fun! Happy 4th of July! We have had a house full this month. We brought Genevieva back home with us from Utah. She stayed with us for two weeks, and we had lots of fun (and some drama too - silly girl...HE HE HE). Well then Caleb and Corbin also came to stay and play for a couple of weeks too. Aunt Lindsay also had a little free time and came down for a few days. We've had a blast - mostly swimming and staying cool. On July 4th we celebrated with a barbeque and swimming at our house. The Armantrouts joined us. And of course the festivities are only complete with homemade ice cream (which we made in delicious fashion). Then we went to the church parking lot and watched the Boulder City firework show from the bed of Dad's work truck. Ben loved watching them, but the noise must have been getting to him - he kept covering his ears with his hands. The power went out one night right after all our company left. Dad busted out the flashlights and headlamps. The kids thought the headlamps were the way to go. The power only stayed off for an hour or so, but it sure was fun while it lasted.
